"IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER, YOU GOTTA GET WITH MY FRIENDS!"

"MAKE IT LAST FOREVER"

"FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS!"

Matilda, Aria, Charlotte and Martha were getting ready as they sang-yelled to Wannabe. On the floor below them, Nigel tried to hit the roof to get them to shut up.

They were all going out clubbing with respective boyfriends, Chris, Elizabeth, Harry, Mackie and her brother. Overall, they were a big group.

They'd been singing at the top of their lungs and her brother was finally starting to get mad.

At that moment all was left for them to do was put their heels on.

Aria threw herself on top of her, kissing her cheek several times, making her shriek and wriggle out of her grasp as the other two women laughed at them.

Right as she was about to run away from her, the door to her bedroom opened, revealing Sebastian. Lottie ran to turn off the music, Martha straightened herself, Aria ran to her husband and Matilda wiped off the remnants of Aria's lipstick.

"You girls ready? The others are meeting us at the club."

They looked at him sheepishly and Aria showed her bare feet to her husband, who closed his eyes and sighed at them.

"Okay... Put on your shoes. And DON'T turn on the music, please. Nigel's going crazy."

Matilda rolled her eyes. Her brother was such a party pooper. She blindly reached for her feet, grabbing her black heels and dropped them on top of the bed.

"Yes, dad."

Her friends swallowed their giggles and Sebastian glared at her.

"Pretty sure you were the mother and I was the uncle. Let's keep things that way, okay?"

Before she could reply he left, closing the door behind him. Almost instantly, her friends started laughing, Charlotte close to falling over.

They were pretty drunk. She was sitting on the bar with Aria as Mackie and Sebastian went crazy on the dance floor.

Most of her friends were also on the dance floor. Matilda, however, was bored out of her mind, having already rejected four guys who wanted to dance with her.

Aria huffed by her side, taking a look at her.

"I'm getting us shots. Hey, dude! Some vodka shots, please!"

The bartender nodded at her, grabbing two shot glasses and pouring them right in front of them.

"Here you go ladies."

He smirked at both of them. Aria lifted her left hand, showing him her wedding band. His gaze moved and he lifted one eyebrow at her.

She barfed internally.

"Matilda!"

Chris? She turned quickly and found him behind her, clearly drunk.

He made his way to her, placing one hand on her hip, the other moving her hair from her ear, his lips taking it's place. His breath was hot and shivered at the contact.

"Do you want to dance?"

She nodded quickly, drinking it and giving the glass to Aria, who pushed her away.

Matilda held his hand tightly as Chris walked them through the sea of bodies before stopping in a place where they had enough space.

Her back was touching his chest, his arm was circling her hip and Matilda's hand made it's way up to his neck.

If later on they kissed and she left with him, then she'd blame it on her hormones, his warm body and the vodka.
